A 'sockclientconn' object is created that opens a connection from R to a
SciViews socket client (that must be currently connected). A timeout is
defined by options(timeout = XX) where XX is a number of seconds. In R,
its default value is 60 sec.

identifier as it appears in get_socket_clients(). The client must be
currently connected.

socket_client_connection() creates a 'sockclientconn' object redirects text
send to it to the SciViews socket server client. It is inherits from a
'sockconn' object (see socketConnection()), and the only difference is that
output is redirected to a Tcl socket corresponding to a given SciViews socket
client currently connected.
